Summary
An openwork and a line of tin pits on the slope above the western arm of the Venford Brook. The pits are relatively large, with diameters in the range of 2.5 to 5.5m with substantial amounts of spoil. This appears to be a lode-back working, a continuation of a small openwork between SX 68237074 and SX 68137074 some 200 metres to the east.
